Daily Observations

1tOHl w
Va. Rev. j. E. Rudisill taken quite
sick during his visit to Gallipolis. He
will take a vacation of two or three
weeks. -. The procession in the Saliva
tion Army numbered but six persons this
evening. 49,. Rev. NJ d. Vaughn is pre-
pairing to move to town. Mr.. A. III.
Vernon, of Rio Grande, Gallia County,
called to-day. Capt Ed. Kendall writes
from Frankfort, Kentucky, that he is now
located at that place. The James
town people have had the dog-fennel cut
down, and now they have to come on this
side of the creek to keep from being lone
some. Judge Delaney is accused of
burglariZing saloon. 1t was possibly
| the liquor he got there that made him do
it -. The thermometer showed 81 in
the shade to-day. In speaking of the
Mont. Crisswell funeral last week, we
were misinformed. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. Fillinger, of the
Baptist church, instead of S. E.~Brookins,
of Christian church. We understand
that the nail mill folks contemplate put
ting up wooden structure. .... Old Mr..
Umpleby, of Scioto Township, has been
dangerously i'll from cancer, for a long
time, and is not expected to live but
short time. His son John is also in
dangerous condition. His is spinal troub-
lie, superinduced by lifting a keg of nails
above his head, and losing his hold, per-
mitting the keg to fall upon his head.
That was long time ago, but he never
recovered from it.. Tom Harrison,
the young man who married Jim Sheri-
dams daughter last Winter, died few
weeks ago in Kansas. There was talk of
bringing the remains home, but the
weather was considered too warm. ....
Blackberries are very scarce, owing to
the dry weather and the cheap price.
THURsDAY.-This has been the hottest
day by far. The mean temperature-and
it was awfully mean, too-was about 9S,
though one man declared that his ther-
mometer registered 140 at noon. n..... Mr..
Selleck and neighbor, of Jackson Town
ship brought in load of new wheat to-
day, and were unable to sell it, hauling it
back home again. We have been told
that new wheat has been offered as low
as sixty cents a bushel.. ii. M. Tripp
sent for his family to come to the Springs.
..... The hallelujah cornet-plaYer is here
again, awaking the echoes. -. The lawn
fete at the home of Mrs. Sutherland this
evening was success in every way. The
large number of people enjoyed them
selves greatly -. Chris. Halterman, the
Mormon Preacher" was jailed again to-
day. Poor Chris. has hard time keeping
out, but there are several others that
ought to be in, or rather sent to the
Work-house. There is getting to be con-
siderable drunkenness in the streets again |
and it can easily be stopped, by impris-
oning and sending to the Work-house |
every one of them as soon as discovered.
1t is certainly about time an example |
was made of some of these fellows. A
man who insists on the right to tumble |
sance of himself, ought to be nfpped as
soon as possible There are not many of
them, but they should be made fewer yet |
outside of the Work-house. And the |
great pity is that the rotten, bloated, cor
rupt devils who sell them liquor cannot |
be imprisoned also.
FRIDAY.-One hundred and two in the |
shade! Just think of it!......A young |
man named Hughes is in Jail for over
driving horse, the animal falling dead |
between Jackson and Oak Hill. An at |
tempt was made to get the young man
out on habeas corpus this afternoon, but |
failed j. Edward Jones, Mayor of
Oak Hill, is in town to-day. 49,. Milton
Phillips and little son, Johnny, are in
town visiting friends. David Randall
has three children down with whooping |
cough. Mr.. Randall has had much sick
ness in his family during the past year.
An old citizen remarked to-day that |
all this burning hot weather sis due to
having the big fish down off of the School
House.. Judge" Delaney escaped |
from the clutches of the law, to-day. and |
is free-for the present. The boys |
have been playing the pocket-book trick
successfully last night and to-day, and |
many person came along and found |
nice, fat pocket-book, only to discover
that they had been sold by the mischiev-
Gus urchins -. .Huckleberries are in

a fair success financially.

wife's relatives here 49,. Uncle Bobbie
Lynch is quite feeble. .... The unterrified

delegates to the State Convention. -. :.
There is considerable drunkenness on the
streets tonight, and a good many young
men who ought to be ashamed of them
selves. -. The Hanna residence, on West

addition of a fine veranda. .Ohe hun
dred in the shaded. =. The lemon-dealers
report an immense sale, during this hot
spell. -. William Fogarty now has a
neat peddler's wagon and team, and tray
els. -. Letters from friends in Wash
ington D. G. state that w. T. Price is in
that city. :. If the Gallipolis reporters
were here, and sober, on these hot even
ings, thay would see more lovely girls on
the streets in one evening than they ever
saw before. Our principal streets are
used as promenades during the evenings

than on any previous night. Johnny
Clark, Harry Killen, and Miss Belle Chew
were the recipients of the prize silver
ware. -. This was too hot night for
Lodge meetings, and the G. A. r. and the
Good Templars made slim showing.
SUNDAY.-The hottest day in many
years. The thermometer registered as
high as 1O7 in the shade. Everybody
seems worn out with the excessive heat.
The grass seems literally burned up in
places. Still it has been magnificent
weather for putting up hay, the drouth
setting in just about the right time for
